Popular Post jfa.series1 Posted April 8, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted April 8, 2021 The Z Proto wrapped up a three-day visit in Dallas today. I had recently posted on the Nissan USA Facebook page about our 50th anniversary and they reached out to me with an invite to see the Z Proto. What followed was an unexpected photo and interview session where they posed my car next to the new Z. The new Z is a sleek and stylish car with none of the faux vents, overwrought bulges and creases, or chrome embellishments; the interior is exceptionally comfortable and well done. The Nissan team was very welcoming and showed a genuine interest in my car. I expect to get copies of the photos taken by the pros in the coming weeks. 16 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65266-z-proto-in-dallas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted April 9, 2021 Share #5 Posted April 9, 2021 Love the pic with you next to the new Z. I think you look better than the new one. But that's just me.

Popular Post siteunseen Posted April 10, 2021 Popular Post Share #9 Posted April 10, 2021 That's like a pic of Bigfoot, I don't exist except in the wild. We also have half of riffraff, I guess riff, in that photo. @gwri8 what a fun day! @Mark Maras and his wife were my instant family as soon as they walked up to my never been seen country arse in the airport's luggage carousel and said "Cliff?". 4 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65266-z-proto-in-dallas/#findComment-619551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark Maras Posted April 11, 2021 Popular Post Share #10 Posted April 11, 2021 It was a fun day in , almost a Deja Vu moment meeting Cliff face to face. Instant good vibes. Thanks again for the ride from the airport. IMHO, Nissan was pretty brave or foolish for placing that beautiful original Z next to the new Z. Is there anyone one the face of the earth that thinks the new Z looks anywhere as good as the original? 7 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65266-z-proto-in-dallas/#findComment-619565 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOOOOOO happy that Nissan reached out to you Jim! They for sure found the right car and guy in those photos! 6 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65266-z-proto-in-dallas/#findComment-619578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
